I have no interest in ball games and have never been to a concert although I would have liked to see a-ha in concert.

Actually I know very few JWs who haven't been to a ball game or concert.

But going to a concert in the same building you attended a convention in can be quite interesting! (Imagine psychedelic images behind the stage and a cloud of special smoke over the whole area.)

Yeah I don't really get this one. Every JW I know has been to a ball game and/or a concert.

I went to see Sweet, Rick Wakeman, Carl Perkins, Runrig, Graham Parker and the Rumour and a few others in concert, plus plays, shows and Pantomimes etc. at our local Portsmouth Guildhall.

Only real difference for me was seating position. When it was entertainment, as near the front as possible and at an assembley as near the back as possible and I also wanted those seats on the end and as close to the exits as I could get.

Band on the Run

I grew up in the NY area when Mantle and Maris were competing. Everyone was Yankee crazy. Attending JW conventions there was so exciting. Yankee Staidum, not a dingy KH with maybe twenty people. Thousands upon thousands. There was an international one when I was in kindergarten. The nonAmericans wore native costumes. I wanted to see the Yankees. Never. My father was Yankee crazy once the Brooklyn Dodges snubbed Brooklyn.

Our lives revolved around Yankee games. Newspapers would run special editions of the convention. I thought it was a real newspaper and our gathering had supplanted the president and UN. Wow.

Finally, I saw one Yankee game with Reggie Jackson with a law firm recreation event. They had the gall to lose!

Yeah I don't really get this one. Every JW I know has been to a ball game and/or a concert.

They're just hard to recognize as they just dress quite differently. Bumped into a JW couple at a concert, and WOW! Leather skirt up to here, neckline down to there with cleavage boobies to knock your eyes out.

(And that was just the brother.)

Its going to be so nice that I will be able to use my vacation time this year to do whatever I want and not have to use it for assemblys:)

White Dove

Never been to a game or concert.

I'd love to go to one now, though, not a concert.
